Relayer - Original 1974 UK Atlantic label 3-track LP - No Inner Sleeve

Original 1974 UK Atlantic label 3-track LP - British progressive rock quartets 7th studio album - incorporating elements of jazz-fusion - recorded with Swizz keyboardists Patrick Moraz as a substitute for Rick Wakeman.

Author and Music journalist Chris Welch wrote that "Relayer" was "one of the most successful and satisfying Yes albums" in his Melody Maker review and called "The Gates of Delirium" a "powerful piece" which "... benefits by the time structures imposed by this single album."
In its December 1974 review, Billboard magazine called Relayer "another nearly flawless effort" by Yes and noted Moraz "fits in perfectly".
